It is so much safer not to feel, not to let the world touch me.

Sylvia Plath (via wordsnquotes)

You don’t realize how lonely you are until it’s the end of the day and you have a bunch of things to talk about, but no one to tell them to.

Anonymous (via wordsnquotes)

My only relief is to sleep. When I’m sleeping, I’m not sad, I’m not angry, I’m not lonely, I’m nothing.

Jillian Medoff,  Hunger Point. (via wordsnquotes)

My life - my personality, my habits, even my speech - is a combination of the books I choose to read, the people I choose to listen to, and the thoughts I choose to tolerate in my mind…

Andy Andrews  (via wordsnquotes)

Time flies without sense when you’ve lost your conscience.

Oh no.

infp secret #38

i hate change, and i’m afraid to fall in love.

i hate watching my friends, my siblings, my cousins become a different person, and leave behind the people that used to be enough. i watch once stoic and independent people become whiny and clingy. i scroll through their instagrams that used to be filled with the adventures we used to take, and now it’s filled with their selfies of them and their “boo”.

they tell me “oh, just wait until you get a boyfriend!” well if that’s the cost of finding love, i don’t want it. people that i’ve let in close, let them see the real me– i’m not abandoning them for a boy! who do i fall back on if i desert the only other people besides my family that have stood by me? they are my family! 

maybe that boils down to commitment issues. i’m not really sure. i know, at our cores, infp’s have to be true to themselves, and the thought of me sacrificing the person i’ve become and all that i am for the sake of a boy horrifies me. 

i guess that’s why i’m still single.

Introvert: *really wants to be invited to things and have confirmation that people like them and want them to be at things and feels really sad and left out when not invited to a thing*

Introvert: *has absolutely no desire to attend said thing*

The most fantastic dream of her imagination was normalcy - the safety of someone who loved her, the safety of a home.

INFP Functions: Pros and Cons

Or at least, in my experience.

Fi — Pros: Able to understand/sympathize well with pretty much anyone’s experiences and feelings Cons: Difficulty showing affection/emotion; because of strong awareness of personal feelings, emotions can be magnified 1000% and made super complicated but they’re really not and ugh

Ne — Pros: Able to see an individual or situation from all sides and angles, which pretty much guarantees a fresh perspective Cons: Easily distracted easily distracted can’t focus on anything ever it’s terrible. No. Just no.

Si — Pros: Remembering little details that add to the memory, like the way it felt to hug someone Cons: Getting nostalgic over stupid things all the ding dong time

Te — Pros: Naturally taking charge and doing well in a leadership position when it’s something the INFP loves/knows how to do well Cons: Speaking before thinking way too much and it’s uncomfortable

I just wanted to say:

Sometimes people enjoy being alone. Not everyone is “shy” or “a bad person” because they don’t socialize regularly. Not everyone can actively socialize day in and day out and function properly, and that doesn’t make us less of a person, it just means we have different priorities and different energy levels. Not everyone can handle energetic people everyday. Some people wear out from lack of energy and a need to rejuvenate themselves through being alone.

Just because I’m not a socially active person doesn’t mean I don’t care or am apathetic to the world around me. Just because I enjoy just chilling out and watching TV or laying around doesn’t mean I’m apathetic, rude, or socially incompetent.

It means I’m an introvert.

This has been an introverted PSA

The only thing more painful than being an active forgetter is to be an inert rememberer.

Johnathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated (via wordsnquotes)

Talk it out. I was never a talker. I was the type to keep my feelings bottled up until it became too unbearable and I would break down and cry.

Anonymous (via wordsnquotes)

It is an act of bravery to feel your feelings.

Gayle Forman, I Was Here (via books-n-quotes)

I hid my deepest feelings so well I forgot where I placed them.

Amy Tan, Saving Fish From Drowning (via wordsnquotes)

The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.

Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me (via wordsnquotes)

I close my eyes, but I can’t fall asleep, my body dying for rest while my mind’s wide awake.

Why am I single? Am I stopping myself from falling in love? Or am I truly just not falling for anyone? I don’t know which option I fear more. If the first is true, then I may be dooming myself to a life alone. If it’s the second, well, that wouldn’t be my fault, would it? But it’s no less discouraging to think that no one in my world could ever interest me. I get crushes sometimes, yes, but (and this sounds weird) I can’t even tell how serious they are. I second-guess my own feelings constantly. Do I really like this person, or am I just fooling myself? All too often, it feels like I’m imagining I like them just because I like the idea of being madly in love. It’s more about the idea than the actual person. I can create an image around a person that obscures who they really are, and pretty soon I’m in love with the image, but all the while in my gut I know that the image is not accurate and what I’m actually in love with is an illusion. That’s not true love. I know that. So I don’t allow myself to actually engage with the person, because I know it’s not what I think it is. In that sense, I guess you could say I do keep myself from falling in love… but not without reason. You see, in every case, I see red flags. Even beyond the smokescreen of the fantasy image I create around a person, these red flags are always visible to my deeper instinct. And when I say “red flags,” I mean intrinsic qualities or ingrained habits that I do not want in a romantic partner. Things that the person obviously either could not or would not change. Things that I am ultimately just not okay with. They stand out to my subconscious mind, flashing cold warning lights, spelling doom for any hope of a relationship with that person. If I didn’t see these kinds of red flags, I like to think that I would do it. I would move forward. I would give the person a chance. But when I see these kinds of things beforehand, plain as day… I mean, am I supposed to ignore them? So far, I have not been able to do that. I know what I want, and I know what I do not want. Why should I walk straight into a situation that I know is not what I want? Won’t I be kicking myself later for making such a stupid move, eyes wide open? At the end of the day, I wonder: Will there ever be someone who doesn’t strike me as full of warning signs, someone I won’t have to invent a mostly false image around so that I can pretend to have a crush on them? Will I just end up caving in and dating someone who is below my standards? Am I keeping myself from happiness, or sparing myself genuine heartache and wasted time? As always, the standard answer to all my life’s questions resurfaces: I don’t know.

I don’t play hard to get. I’m actually pretty easy to get. I’m just hard to keep.

Coral-vellichor (via coral-vellichor)

I have no memory for things I have learned, nor things I have read, nor things experienced or heard, neither for people nor events; I feel that I have experienced nothing, learned nothing, that I actually know less than the average schoolboy, and that what I do know is superficial, and that every second question is beyond me. I am incapable of thinking deliberately; my thoughts run into a wall. I can grasp the essence of things in isolation, but I am quite incapable of coherent, unbroken thinking. I can’t even tell a story properly; in fact, I can scarcely talk…

Franz Kafka (via infpisme)

I took no pride in my solitude; but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.

Charles Bukowski (via infpisme)

Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.

Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet (via infpisme)

I, an INFP. When I look bitchy (because of my resting bitch face) I am actually feeling very sensitive and vulnerable. When I look innocent, I am at my most dangerous-to-approach state.

There is this friend of mine that has confessed me a while ago he has feelings for me and since that I just couldn’t be the same with him. The weird thing is that, I always tell myself to put my feelings and needs first but I can’t ever do it, even with this boy ‘cause I just can’t stand the idea of someone suffering over me, it’s awful.

I love being alone in my room, I love not having to be a person

I do my best thinking at night when everyone else is sleeping. No interruptions. No noise. I like the feeling of being awake when no one else is.

Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places  (via thequotejournals)

I was happy. I loved the night, I loved it so much it almost hurt. In the night everything seemed possible. I wasn’t sleepy at all.
